A dog does not care about wrapping paper, but it will notice a new puzzle toy, a long-lasting chew or a warm bed. These picks are sorted for the stocking, the toy box, the cold months and the car.
Stockings with toys inside, treats and a long-lasting chew: easy wins for Christmas morning.
Lick mats, puzzle toys, chews and a festive bandana. Only items Amazon currently lists under $25 appear here.
Snuffle mats and treat puzzles keep a dog busy on the long days indoors over the holidays.
Yak cheese, nylon bones and other chews that last longer than a biscuit. Supervise any new chew and size it to the dog.
Short-coated and small dogs feel the cold. A coat for walks and a supportive bed for the evenings both get daily use.
Seat covers, harnesses and travel water bottles for the drive to family.
Keep chocolate, raisins, grapes, xylitol (some sugar-free sweets) and cooked bones out of reach, and check our chocolate toxicity calculator if something is eaten.
Introduce one new chew at a time and supervise it, so a stomach upset is easy to trace.
Size chews and toys so they cannot be swallowed whole.
Tinsel, ribbon and ornament hooks are a swallowing risk; keep wrapped gifts with food inside off the floor.
Measure the dog's chest and back length before buying a coat or sweater.
A puzzle toy or snuffle mat, a long-lasting chew sized for your dog, a warm coat for winter walks or a supportive bed. Dogs value things that keep them busy or comfortable over anything decorative.
Small bags of treats, a long-lasting chew, a lick mat, a squeaky or rope toy, or a stocking that comes pre-filled with toys.
Most are a small treat a day, which is fine for a healthy dog if you account for the extra calories. Check the ingredients for allergens and keep the calendar out of reach so it is not eaten in one go.
Chocolate, grapes and raisins (including mince pies and Christmas pudding), xylitol, onions and garlic, macadamia nuts, alcohol and cooked bones. Call your vet if your dog eats any of them.
Toys, beds and chews are often discounted around Prime Big Deal Days in October and from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Prices here come from Amazon and any savings shown are the ones Amazon reports at that time.
